Hostile Demonstrations^^ \Ve are no alarmist ; nor do we give credence to every sensational rumor, re tailed by penny-a-liners; but facts' have been revealed, within the past lew weeks startling in their diameter, and ominous of trouble and bloodshed. \Vu relitr to the extensive military in uuguruted by tbo colored population. These organizations appear to be perlect in all the Southern States, ami (he designs and purposes of these incuts are being developed. In SoinW •Carolina they have assumed sitclt pro pol l ions that frequent appeals have been ■made to the Radical Governor, for I licit •suppression—but in vain ; the leaders publicly proclaim that they intend vin ienoc, and assert that there is a Captain cmcaeVi plantation, •worn “do his duty," when the hour for action arrives. .Seri ous troubke aro anticipated in that State by the most cautious and prudent men. In At ibntiia, the “carpet-bag”members of ilie Legislature, appeared intent 4on j caiisinif bloodshed, and one of their until 1 tier, a few days ago boldly declared Ihat unless every demand of the extreme,rad- j ical party was rivaled, ninety thousand freedmen of that State were ready to res , pond to the cry of “lo arms 1" Similar demonstrations aro made in other States—and the policy of "rule or ruin,” appears to be the one agreed up on.

We publish in anothoi column a letter from a responsible cili sen of Webster county, giving in detail, the proceedings bad by a large assem blage of negroes on ibe 8111 inst.; and it will be perceived that the speakers on | that occasion, boldly declared that tlioir race were entitled to not only political and social equality but to one third the property of the State; and that they should possess themselves of lit.: same even though blood flowed freely. Similar meetings have been held in the counties of Jones, Sumter, Hancock, etc. In the latter county a negro has been ar rested for attempting to force colored tneu into ajnii tarv organization, which he said he had orders to raise. Hie ob ject of the army he was raising he gave the negroes lo distinctly understand was to kill off the Democrats. Now, as we stated in the offset, we are not one of those who snuff danger from the passing gale—but facts are ■stubborn things. We have the glaring evidence presented, that the emissaries r.f the Radical party are organizing the ignorant element of our copulation in compact military associations, practic ing them in the manual of arms, furn •diiug them with riiimlfclous weapons and tutoring them in the policy of inau gurating war.
